(150200 words)（分数：30.00）_英语写作基础自考题-7 答案解析(总分：90.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、B(总题数：10，分数：15.00)1.He felt that the world had come to an end when he failed in the university entrance exam last year. (periodic sentence)（分数：1.
24、50）_正确答案：(When he failed in the university entrance exam last year, he felt that the world had come to an end.)解析：解析 原句是一个含有由 when 引导的表时间的状语从句的松散句，在将其变为掉尾句时，只需将状语从句部分提前(而表示句子中心意思的主句移至句尾)即可。译文：当他去年高考失败时，他感到世界都快终结了。2.Hockey is a sport which is popular in many countries around the world. (simple senten
25、ce)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(Hockey is a popular sport in many countries around the world./Hockey is a sport popular in many countries around the world.)解析：解析 译文：曲棍球是在全世界许多国家都很流行的一项运动。该句是一个复合句，定语从句修饰先行词 sport。复合句是处于主从地位的两套主谓结构的结合。要将复合句变成简单句，一般是将复合句中处于从属地位的句子转化为短语的形式去做修饰语，使其丧失分句的地位。这样就把句子变成只有一套主谓结构的简单句了。本句从句中
26、popular 为中心词，它可以做改后句中 sport 的定语，状语做整个句子的状语。这样就保证了句子意思的不变了。3.Jerry is smart. He should be able to handle eighteen credits this semester. (compound sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(Jerry is smart, so he should be able to handle eighteen credits this semester.)解析：解析 原句含有两个简单句，要求合并为并列句。简单句在转化为并列句时常采用逗号加并列连接词的方法
27、。原句之间是因果关系，本题的连接词应选用连词 so。译文：杰瑞很聪明，本学期他应该能考过 18 个学分的课程。4.Not until he crossed the line and felt the tape snap against his chest did Johnson know he had won the race. (loose sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(Johnson did not know that he had won the race until he crossed the line and felt the tape snap against
28、 his chest.)解析：解析 译文：直到他的胸部碰到了终点线，约翰逊才知道他已赢得了比赛。本句是一个掉尾句，要求将它变为一个松散句。掉尾句和松散句的主要区别是主要观点的位置不同。当句子结构为“基本结构+修饰语”时，主要观点体现在基本结构上，修饰语主要指状语，为次要观点。在这样的句子中，掉尾句的本质就是状语前置。要将掉尾句变为松散句，只需将状语后置即可。在本句中，只需将 until 引导的时间状语从句后置即可。做题时要注意原句子以否定词开头的倒装语序须改为正常语序。5.Mary put the steak on the grill. The charcoal was burning eve
29、nly. (complex sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(Mary put the steak on the grill when the charcoal was burning evenly.)解析：解析 原句包含两个简单句，要求合并为复合句。从句意来看，合并后的主句应为第一句，而第二句是一个含有动词进行时态的句子，它与第一句在时间意义上可以联系起来，故第二句可以转化为由when 引导的时间状语从句。译文：当玛丽看到木炭燃烧均匀的时候，她将牛排放到了烤架上。6.I returned to school following a long illness. The math
30、s teacher gave me make-up work to do, but the history teacher made me drop her course. (compound-complex sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(After I returned to school following a long illness, the maths teacher gave me make-up work to do, but the history teacher made me drop her course.)解析：解析 原句包含两个句子，第一句子是个简
31、单句，第二个是并列句，要求合并为复合句。根据句意，第一句应该成为合并后句子中的从句部分。在时间上后两句话表示第一句话发生后的动作，故把第一句话用 after 来引导作全句的时间状语从句部分。7.At the international museum, you can find ancient Egyptian art. You can explore African artifacts there. You can discover beautiful textiles from around the world there. (parallel structure)（分数：1.50）_正确答
32、案：(At the international museum, you can find ancient Egyptian art, explore African artifacts, and discover beautiful textiles from around the world.)解析：解析 平行结构是把两个或两个以上的意思并列的成分用同等的语法形式表达出来。也就是说，在同一个句子中，如果几部分做的是相同的句子成分，那么这几部分内容必须是词性相同的单词或结构相同的短语或句子。本题中三个短句子中主语相同，谓语部分词性相同，结构相同，所以重写句子时，将谓语部分中情态动词后面的部分并
33、列即可。8.My aunt often travels abroad. She enjoys experimenting with unusual food. (sentence with a modifying phrase)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(My aunt, often traveling abroad, enjoys experimenting with unusual food./Often traveling abroad, my aunt enjoys experimenting with unusual food.)解析：解析 先看译文：我阿姨经常到国外旅行。她很喜
34、欢尝试一些不同寻常的食物。原句是两个简单句，要求把它们变为一个含修饰性短语的句子。根据逻辑关系，原句的两个句子中，第一句 travels abroad 是次要内容，enjoys experimenting with unusual food 是中心意思。做题时，应将第一句改为修饰性短语，原句两句话主语相同，所以将 travel 短语改为 travling+宾语的结构，作为插入语放在句中，用逗号隔开。这样句子的主语 My aunt 做它的逻辑主语。9.I want neither your sympathy nor do I want your pity. (sentence with para
35、llel structure)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(I want neither your sympathy nor your pity./Neither do I want your sympathy nor do I want your pity.)解析：解析 译文：我既不需要你的同情，也不需要你的怜悯。该题要求改为包含平行结构的句子。平行结构是指把两个以上意思并列的成分用同等的语法形式表达出来，使句子对称流畅，富有节奏感。本题中 neither your sympathy nor your pity 是主语想要表达的意思。它们均作主语 I 的宾语，地位相同。10.As the
36、lecture is long and important, I hope you will come early. (loose sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(As soon as the plane lifted off the runway, it began to shake noticeably.)解析：解析 此题要求把松散句改为掉尾句，即把句子最关键的东西移至句尾。二、B(总题数：5，分数：15.00)11.Harry wouldnt make a good negotiator he doesnt have the patience.（分数：3.00）_正确答
37、案：(Harry wouldnt make a good negotiator, for he doesnt have the patience.)解析：解析 原句是一个串句。本句句意可分为两个层次：(1)Harry wouldnt make a good negotiator；(2)he doesnt have the patience。两句意思各自完整。修改这类串句可在其中间加上一个逗号和连词。原句之间是因果关系，故可选用连词 for。12.The reason for Holdens disappointment being that his sister wasnt there to
38、comfort him.（分数：3.00）_正确答案：(The reason for Holdens disappointment is that his sister wasnt there to comfort him.)解析：解析 本题为错用ing 分词所致的破句。原句中 the reason for.is/was that 是个习惯搭配，在主语+系动词+表语中，系动词不能用非谓语形式，即这里不能用 being 形式。13.Because he said nothing does not mean that he agreed to your proposals.（分数：3.00）_正确
39、答案：(He said nothing does not mean that he agreed to your proposals.)解析：解析 这道题的错误出在作主语的从句用连词引导了。表示因果关系的连词不能用作主语从句的引导词。所以在改正时只需删除连词 because 即可。14.She paid five dollars for a dress at the county fair that she wanted.（分数：3.00）_正确答案：(At the county fair, she paid five dollars for a dress that she wanted.)解析：解析 本题错误为修饰语错置引起的。that she wanted 是用来修饰 a dress 的，在位置上应紧随其后。否则读者会误以为 that she wanted 的先行间是 county fair。15.To pass the course, your term paper must be handed in on time.（分数：3.00）_正确答案：(To pass the course,
